Lyrics
You moved your hands
Across your face
You stood from the table
Crossed the floor
And walked out into the night
In your wake: the cold draft
The doors swinging and then sighing shut
Still ~ in this city at night
There is no place dark enough to disappear in
But every electric light casts a shadow long enough
for someone else to hide in
Wet pavement and slushy streets
The dull ache of our cold damp feet
Empty towers,
Lit up like electric candles
sending steam plumes
Into the frigid air
Still ~ in this city at night
There is no place dark enough to disappear
But every electric light casts a shadow long enough for someone else to hide in
We leaned in
Between drinks and the din and the traffic out in the street
Over which we could not speak
Then stepped outside
And disappeared into the city

Hermitess is the project of an aging and slightly reclusive witch, dreaming simultaneously in music and images. Sonically, layered orchestral textures, harmonic voices, and pedal driven magic, all conjuring a fleeting fever dream.
